Stimulus? Not If A School Has Religious Meetings
Well well well, we actually get to see some of the San Francisco liberal anti-religion fervor in the so-called stimulus bill, via Culture and Media Institute
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…unless your institution of higher learning is getting part of the massive (nearly $900-billion and counting) Obama/Reid/Pelosi stimulus proposal.
Both versions of the bill, the House version (H.R. 1) that passed on Jan. 28 by a 244-188 margin, without a single Republican vote, and the Senate version (S. 336), which will probably be voted on in the next few days – include language that would “prohibit” modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities:
(i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or
(ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious missionSuch language is regrettable and could leave some institutions of higher learning susceptible to a legal action by organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) according to a spokesman from South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint’s office.
So groups like ACORN will get money, there is money for the National Endowment for the Arts, and people who don’t pay taxes will get earned income credit, along with the rest of the Democrats 40 year wish list. But if there is a hint of religion? Nope. They just need to piss off in Liberal World.

As Glenn Beck suggested, can we secede a state? If we can, I’m all for giving the Soviet State of Kalifornia back to Mexico.
It ain’t called the LEFT coast for nothin’!
Of course, my brain being a whole lot faster than my typing finger, I left out Socialist. Finger was supposed to type Soviet SOCIALIST State of Kalifornia.
Unless, of course, it is for Muslims to wash their dirty feet before prostrating themselves to a rock.
Most of these religious based schools are private based anyway, which are definitely not the ones that need the support at this time. It is not saying they are going to lose money, just making sure our public schools are the ones that are going to receive the majority of this. Also, it does not bar a religious based school from receiveing the funds, it is vague enough where many should be able to get through anyway. I also love how the other 3 comments actually don’t say anything substantive, just childish accusations without a base in truth. But this is why you lost;) You have no udnerstanding of what socialism is, if you did you wouldn’t throw the word around like a drug addicted radio talk show host. Pop another oxycontin and chill out why the rest of us try to fix the mess we were left.
Unless, of course, it is for Muslims to wash their dirty feet before blowing up non-believers and chanting DEATH TO AMERICANS….. there fixed it for you.
There seems to be a trend on the left in which they try to expand the reach of government-run schools into the domain of the family. They do not like the values that parents teach their children, and a secularized school is a pretty good place to undermine a religious upbringing.
